New Windows!

Filed under: — peter @ 8:59 am

The stinky men with the stringy mullets came to our house!

They made our sun room all dusty and banged on things. Then they installed new windows!

The one with the leathery skin and chewing tobacco did most of the work. He used loud machines to cut things and put them in our walls. Then he increased the energy efficiency of our sun room many times over by installing glorious windows that do not facilitate easy entry by teens wearing oversized white t-shirts and black do-rags!

We did not have to pay for these new windows - the cost was covered by our insurance company. They compensated us after we were robbed. The police let the boys go. Now they spend their days loitering outside a house on our block where marijuana is being grown in the basement. On an unrelated note, I’m glad that Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak is holding press conferences to announce that the city is spending $500,000 on designer water fountains.

Our new windows are the best! Thanks, dirty window installation men!

    Isn’t it $500,000? Rybak really wants to make a statement about something. Anyone know what it is?

    You’re right Adam, it was $500,000. I’ve made the change on the post to reflect that.

    thanks!

    Did you pay your estimated new window taxes for Minneapolis yet?

    well the lord does move in mysterious ways. you lost your iPod and went through a hassle, but those windows aren’t cheap and you probably wouldn’t have gotten them otherwise. they look great!

    You’re definitely right, Tom. There have actually been a number of ways that God has used that crappy circumstance to bless us in one way or another. It’s been pretty cool to see.

    Did you ever say why the police let them go? They were ID’d by three witnesses? That doesn’t make sense.

    Well…they were actually the three witnesses.
